Abstract (en)

In a front suspension device (1) for an automotive vehicle, in which wheel support members (24) of right and left front wheels (20) are coupled with each other via a steering unit (44), outer ends of two lower arms (32, 34) are pivotally attached to the wheel support members (24), and inner ends of two lower arms (32, 34) are pivotally attached to a vehicle body via a resilient member (40, 42), there are provided a damping device (54) equipped with a coil spring (56) and attached to one of the two lower arms (32, 34) at its lower end and to the vehicle body at its upper end respectively, and a suppression (rotational torque absorption) device (84) for suppressing a toe-change of the front wheels (20) caused by a rotational torque applied according to extension and contraction of the coil spring (56) of the damping device (54). <IMAGE>
